Ban Removal or Appeal

If you have been banned from #fedora-social and wish to appeal the ban or request a removal of a ban please use https://fedorahosted.org/irc-support-sig to appeal your case. Tickets are reviewed on a weekly basis at each IRC Sig meeting. Meetings are currently held on Thursdays at 12:00PM (UTC) in the #fedora-meeting channel. Please do not private message an op and ask them to remove the ban. All are welcome to participate in our weekly meetings.
